About The Indian Polo Awards (TIPA)

What is The Indian Polo Awards?

The Indian Polo Awards (TIPA) stands as a tribute to the champions, the visionaries, and the unsung heroes of polo, acknowledging their relentless pursuit of excellence and their dedication to keeping the spirit of this noble sport alive. Through an annual grand ceremony, we bring together the entire Indian polo community to celebrate the achievements of players, teams, patrons, and supporters who continually push the boundaries of the game.

TIPA is a prestigious initiative and flagship intellectual property of La Polo, established in 2021. Born out of a passion to honor and celebrate the polo community, TIPA was created with a vision to recognize the incredible contributions of individuals and teams who have shaped and continue to elevate the sport in India.

Our goal is not only to reward excellence but to eternalize the unbreakable and inspiring spirit of polo, which has stood the test of time. TIPA serves as a platform to commemorate the passion and perseverance that have enabled the sport to thrive for centuries, while also motivating future generations to continue the legacy.

Since its inception, The Indian Polo Awards has become an emblem of prestige, fostering unity and pride within the polo fraternity, and shining a well-deserved spotlight on those who dedicate their lives to the game.
